Description
The Destin Dog Park was opened in January of 2012 through a cooperative effort between the City and a dedicated group of resident volunteers who raised matching funds for the project. The park is approximately 3 acres and includes separate area for large dogs and small dogs. Both areas have lush Bermuda grass open space and shaded areas with pines and oaks. The facility has watering stations for dogs and their two legged companions, benches and waste receptacles. This project continues to expand, if you would like to volunteer your time or make a donation please contact the Parks & Recreation Department at (850) 837-4242 or donate through paypal now.

In 2017, the City of Destin renamed the park in honor and memory of its founder, Nancy Weidenhamer.
